RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL

Trust starts with control

Master risk, ensure compliance, move forward safely

In a context of high regulatory complexity and volatile markets, organisations need robust systems to identify, mitigate and monitor risks.

BSO Consulting helps companies to structure Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) models, fully adjusted to legal and operational requirements.

We apply methodologies to strengthen control mechanisms, ensure compliance and promote stakeholder trust

How do I proactively identify and manage risks that could compromise my organisation’s strategic objectives?

Am I compliant with the legal, regulatory and industry requirements applicable to our business?

Are our internal control mechanisms effective?

Are we prepared to respond to audits, inspections or requirements from regulatory authorities?

How can we integrate technology and automation to make risk and compliance processes more efficient and reliable?

How we help define integrated risk management, compliance and internal control models based on international best practices

Integrated Risk Management Models

We support the definition of integrated risk management models, as well as the identification, assessment and mitigation of risks.

Treatment Strategies

We define treatment strategies appropriate to the identified risks, based on recognised methodologies and frameworks (ISO 31000, COSO ERM, etc.).

Compliance Programmes

We develop legal and industry compliance programmes, from codes of conduct to reporting channels and action plans.

Strengthening Internal Control

We strengthen the internal control of organisations, through effective policies, processes, procedures and other monitoring mechanisms.

Risk and Compliance Process Automation

We automate these processes, using IT solutions, integrating risk registers and controls, action plans, evidence and reporting.

We also support in the preparation for audits and certifications, as well as in responding to regulatory requirements such as Notice 2/2025 of the Bank of Portugal, the Whistleblower Directive, among others.
